void	nag_dggqrf (Nag_OrderType order, Integer n, Integer m, Integer p, double a[], Integer pda, double taua[], double b[], Integer pdb, double taub[], NagError *fail)

3 Description

nag_dggqrf (f08zec) forms the generalized

Q R

factorization of an

n

m

matrix

A

and an

n

p

matrix

B

A = Q R, B = Q T Z,

where

Q

is an

n

n

orthogonal matrix,

Z

is a

p

p

orthogonal matrix and

R

and

T

are of the form

R = \{\begin{matrix} \begin{array}{rc} m \\ m & ( & R_{11} & ) \\ n - m & 0 \end{array},   if ​ n \geq m; \\ \begin{array}{rc} n & m - n \\ n & ( & R_{11} & R_{12} & ) \end{array},   if ​ n < m, \end{matrix}

with

R_{11}

upper triangular,

T = \{\begin{matrix} \begin{array}{rc} p - n & n \\ n & ( & 0 & T_{12} & ) \end{array},   if ​ n \leq p, \\ \begin{array}{rc} p \\ n - p & ( & T_{11} & ) \\ p & T_{21} \end{array},   if ​ n > p, \end{matrix}

with

T_{12}

T_{21}

upper triangular.

In particular, if

B

is square and nonsingular, the generalized

Q R

factorization of

A

and

B

implicitly gives the

Q R

factorization of

B^{- 1} A

B^{- 1} A = Z^{T} (T^{- 1} R) .

5 Arguments

1: $order$ – Nag_OrderTypeInput

On entry: the order argument specifies the two-dimensional storage scheme being used, i.e., row-major ordering or column-major ordering. C language defined storage is specified by

order = Nag_RowMajor

. See Section 3.2.1.3 in the Essential Introduction for a more detailed explanation of the use of this argument.

Constraint:

order = Nag_RowMajor

Nag_ColMajor

2: $n$ – IntegerInput

n

, the number of rows of the matrices

A

and

B

Constraint:

n \geq 0

3: $m$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

m

upper trapezoidal matrix

(

R

is upper triangular if

n \geq m

); the elements below the diagonal, with the array taua, represent the orthogonal matrix

Q

as a product of

Q

8: $b [\dim]$ – doubleInput/Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array b must be at least

$\max (1, pdb \times p)$ when $order = Nag_ColMajor$ ;
$\max (1, n \times pdb)$ when $order = Nag_RowMajor$ .

Where

B (i, j)

contains the

n

n

upper triangular matrix

T_{12}

n > p

, the elements on and above the

(n - p)

th subdiagonal contain the

n

p

upper trapezoidal matrix

T

; the remaining elements, with the array taub, represent the orthogonal matrix

Z

as a product of elementary reflectors (see Section 3.3.6 in the f08 Chapter Introduction).

9: $pdb$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the stride separating row or column elements (depending on the value of order) in the array b.

7 Accuracy

The computed generalized

Q R

factorization is the exact factorization for nearby matrices

(A + E)

and

(B + F)

, where

{‖E‖}_{2} = O ε {‖A‖}_{2} and {‖F‖}_{2} = O ε {‖B‖}_{2},

and

ε

is the machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_dggqrf (f08zec) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

nag_dggqrf (f08zec) makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The orthogonal matrices

Q

and

Z

may be formed explicitly by calls to nag_dorgqr (f08afc) and nag_dorgrq (f08cjc) respectively. nag_dormqr (f08agc) may be used to multiply

Q

by another matrix and nag_dormrq (f08ckc) may be used to multiply

Z

by another matrix.

The complex analogue of this function is nag_zggqrf (f08zsc).

10 Example

This example solves the general Gauss–Markov linear model problem

\min_{x} {‖y‖}_{2} subject to d = A x + B y

where

A = (\begin{array}{r} - 0.57 & - 1.28 & - 0.39 \\ - 1.93 & 1.08 & - 0.31 \\ 2.30 & 0.24 & - 0.40 \\ - 0.02 & 1.03 & - 1.43 \end{array}), B = (\begin{array}{r} 0.5 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1.0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2.0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 5.0 \end{array}) and d = (\begin{array}{r} 1.32 \\ - 4.00 \\ 5.52 \\ 3.24 \end{array}) .

The solution is obtained by first computing a generalized

Q R

factorization of the matrix pair

(A, B)

. The example illustrates the general solution process, although the above data corresponds to a simple weighted least squares problem.
